tornado get argument with special prefix - arguments

Question

Here is my code:
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.write(self.response.arguments)
def main():
settings = {"template_path": "html","static_path": "static","debug":True}
tornado.options.parse_command_line()
application = tornado.web.Application([ (r"/", MainHandler)],**settings)
http_server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(application)
http_server.listen(options.port)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
so wget http://localhost/?#access_token=DWE232
I got nothing.
if wget http://localhost/?access_tokent=DWE232 and I can get the value
How to solve the problem?

Answer 1

You can use urllib to encode the query parameters
>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.urlencode({'#access_token': 'DWE232'})
'%23access_token=DWE232'
So instead of
wget http://localhost/?#access_token=DWE232
use
wget http://localhost:12123/?%23access_token=DWE232

Answer 2

The '#' is a fragment identifier and will not be passed in a URL.
From - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier
The fragment identifier functions differently than the rest of the
URI: namely, its processing is exclusively client-side with no
participation from the web server. When an agent (such as a Web browser)
requests a web resource from a Web server, the agent sends the URI to
the server, but does not send the fragment. Instead, the agent waits
for the server to send the resource, and then the agent processes the
resource according to the document type and fragment value.
Thus if you have code that requires a '#' to be passed to the server you need to encoding it with a urlencode() function (python, JavaScript, etc.) that will insure that it's passed safely.
